Cannoli Muffins !!!

I am a lover of baking and just love muffins! When I purchased this new book, 750 Best Muffin Recipes by Camilla V. Saulsbury...I was thrilled to find a cannoli muffin recipe. She has so many different types of muffins from gluten-free to vegan to savory, it really is a great book for the muffin lover.

This was such an easy recipe and they came out just amazing!! I used Canola oil instead of the butter to make it a bit healthier and it came out just great. I also used half Whole Wheat Pastry Flour with the All-Purpose Flour which I do in most of my recipes. I love the almond flavoring but I used Vanilla Bean Paste  which is Madagascar Vanilla with bean seeds throughout which gives much more flavor. I also love Fiori di Sicilia   which is an all-natural combination of citrus and vanilla with a pleasingly floral aroma and you only need a very small amount.
